Dear Obama Hater-You Just Wasted a Decade of Your Life

Short read, well worth a trip to the link.

http://m.dailykos.com/story/2015/01/04/1355556/-Dear-Obama-Hater-You-Just-Wasted-A-Decade-Of-Your-Life?detail=facebook

"Pretty soon Obama will be gone and you will have to face up to the fact that you have lost a whole decade of your life passing around conspiracy theories and whipping yourself into a frenzy of hatred. All of you lost friends, severed relationships with family members, and some of you even lost your job or your marriage due to your unhinged behavior.

You lost that decade wailing about Obama the gay Communist Muslim narcissist dictator who was going to let the UN invade America and various hoaxes like "death panels," birth certificates, and the "Ground Zero Mosque" (remember how you wasted two years of your life over that?). Just think of what you could have accomplished if you hadn't wasted all that time, You could have gotten a college degree, you could have written a book, you could have run your first marathon, you could have built a boat and sailed it around the world. You could learned to speak another language - oh wait, you never would have done that."

Just think where we could be if there wasn't the haters. So many of the things on Obama's list could have helped so many of us, life could be much better. Though I have been fortunate in my life to have health insurance I am so happy we have ACA, not perfect but it could be, we don't have to worry about pre-existing conditions and it is more affordable. Thank you President Obama.

...because the same lecture could have been given at the end of Bill Clinton's administration. And was.

Look not for introspection from those who are addicted to spittle-flecking outrage. They're off to a new hit and blissful inFOXication.

That's why things are moving so fast, 10 years here for lima beans, 10 years there the last Star Wars with Jar Jar Binks, now Obama? I'm glad these people are around to tell me these things. Makes me almost kinda of wish I didn't go to school to learn things and be a critical thinker.

you don't post a lot of ops, brer cat. Thank you for this one.

All of you lost friends, severed relationships with family members, and some of you even lost your job or your marriage due to your unhinged behavior.


so sad and enlightening. I am glad this not a story of my family! We never lost a minute, because we never stopped believing. My baby great nephew back then was 2. He knew who Obama was. All their school elections in 2008 and 2012. Obama won. Yes!

Their is beauty in those that believe.

Jan 2015
You kept waiting for Obama to be impeached or for the GOP candidates to "take off the gloves." But they never did because your favorite stories were hoaxes, and the GOP can't impeach or win the White House based on hoaxes.

Yeah, that's right, you pointy-headed imbeciles. You were played for a sucker. You believed them when they said, "all we have to do is recapture the House, and we'll impeach the Kenyan usurper." And you believed them again when they said "all we have to do is recapture the Senate, too, and THEN we'll impeach the Kenyan usurper. Then we'll repeal Obamacare, reduce taxes, and cut government spending..." Most ridiculous of all, you actually believed Mitch McConnell when he ran for re-election as an anti-Washington candidate, after THREE F-ING DECADES in Washington. Bunch of morans.

The truth is that losing the Senate was probably the best thing that could've happened to the Democrats.

A) It'll teach Democrats that it doesn't pay to run away from your principles. That actually helps you LOSE, not win. And,

B) It'll teach crackpot TeaBirch crackpots, and Libertarian jackoffs that the GOP is NOT their friend. Aside from a handful of cooks like Gohmert, Paul and Cruz, who will continue to pretend that they support all of your 'principles,' the vast majority of the GOP will not.
